Some time ago friend of mine Interested
in zoology received one day box from New
Mexico without any mark upon it as to what
it contained. He instructed his housekeeper
to open it on finding it in his hall and went
up stairs. Presently he was aroused by a
considerable outery, and found that the box
contained a creature about yard long, not
unlike a crocodile. It was really lizard,
and my friend Immediately packed it off to
the Geological Gardens, with letter to the
curator, presenting it to the collection.
Next day, to his astonishment, he received
q letter from the curator saying: "Pray,
next time you send us an animal for the coli
lection warn us of it's character, for this liz
ard you sent us is poisonous one. The
moment it was taken out of its box 1t Dit
rabbit and the animal almost Immediately
died. AS we took it out of the box without
any hesitation this might just as well nave
happened to the person who unpackeo the
monster"
The existence of this poisonous lizard was
unknown to the recipient, and was L believe
not known at the Geological Gardens. Ny
friend wrote out to his correspondent In New
| Mexico and found that he too was unaware
of the poisonous nature of the animal, and

WHERE REFORMIsN NEEDED.


When affairs get too bad in this country
and often just when it seems as if things
were going to "ths dennition bow-wows"
there is lively protest and a turn toward
the better is made. A good illustration of
this is the fate of the 'tboodle'' aldermen in
New York city. Another crying evil in New
York city which is attracting attention now
adaYs is the cost of elections, which has
reached such point as TO be startling.
It is estimated that the cost of electing a
mayor in New York last year was $500, 900.
The city spent $500, 900 for legal expenses,
$210, 900 came from assessments upon candi-
dates and $780, 900 by assessments upon Office
holders and through contributions from rich
men of various parties, and the money was
divided among 45, 900 men who worked at
the polls" Mr.. Joseph B. Bishop made a
strong speech the other day against the buy
ing and selling of Offices by the politicians of
New York. He said among other things:
The assessment practice has had the most de-
plorable influence upon candidates for lsgis-
lative positions by calling into politics class
of men who look upon Office as a business.
They buy nomination, paying five or ten
times the salary, calculating upon reimburse
ment and profit from their official influence
and votes. The Broadway bribery scandal
was the natural outcome of this. So it is in
the legislature. One senator so pursued his
"business" that his constituents refused to
send him back, when he eoolly came out and
begged for a return the ground that he
was financially embarrassed and wished to go
to the Assembly to retrieve his fortune on a
salary of 81 500.
other places than New York and it is high
time more attention was paid to it. Among
the remedies urged by Mr.. Bishop is to take
away the neces .ity for assessments by having
the ballots printed and distributed at the
city's expense. Secondly, he would have the
expenditures of candidates limited by law,
making obligatory public statement of all
outlays by candidates or their agents after
election. Then he would have law similar
to the English law against corrupt practices
and undue influences. In England any ten
persons can have candidates name put up
on the voting list for municipal Office by
certifying that they wish to vote for him. If
any fifty voters could do that here Mr.. Bishop
thinks the machines would be annihilated.
An attempt is to be made to get the New
York legislature next winter to pass a law
for the purifying of politics in New York
city. There is need enough of it.

A Psalm OfLife.

Through the wild Babel of our fever'd time
The song of Homer cometh, grave and stern,
With tidings from the worlds fresh, healthy
Tidings which our worn wearied age concern.
Unchanged. through all the long unnurnber'd years,
The voice Of Homer sings the song divine,
Which tells of gedlike tolls of heroes tears,
And the punishment of Priam's line.
The battle in the plain is raging yet,
The watchf1res blaze, the beak'd ships line the
shore;
For the foe in grim array is set:-
All! but do we fight they fought of ycre:
For we, too, like the heroes long ago,
Must wage slow wars and sail the bitter sea;
Fierce is the conflict, loud the trumpets blow,
And the waves roar and rage increasingly.
Still must we wander o'er the stormy nain
'Twixt rocks and whirlpools dread passage
make;
Still must the Sirens sing to us in vain;
Still from the tolls of Circe must we break.
Turn, then, to Homers Psalm of Life, and see
How they endured whose pilgrimage is done;
And hear the message they have left for thee
Only by Patience is the victory won.

The case against the Northfeld Knife
company, which is to come before Judge
Shipman in the United States court next
month, will test the law forbidding the ina
portation of foreign labor. The law prohib-
its the introduction of this labor under a
penalty of 81 900 for each offense. 1t is ad-
mitted that the company brought over ff
teen men to engage in its employ; but it was
done, as is claimed, without knowledge of
the existence Of the prohibitory law. More
over the company brought the men to this
country under one agreement, the fares were
all paid at the same time, and this fact, it is
urged, constitutes but one offense under this
law. District Attorney Stanton has made
fifteen separate informations, and the matter
will be left to the court to determine wheth-
er the company should be held to pay the
penalty for one offense or for fifteen separ-
ate offenses

From the Monthly AUCTION Trade Journal
of Mr.. C. B. Rouss, the Broadway Mer-
chant, we take the tribute of the son to the
memory Of the sire:
"Peter Hoke Rouss, York, Pa, October
9th, 1906.
The father of this writer died on the first
day of April Last October we celebrated
his eightieth birthday. Compared to this,
the inevitable calamities that had pursued
both father and son with relentless severity
all through life were light indeed. From
his plain, honest, earnest nature, perfectly
matched BIZ that Of the mother, adorned by
ambition, industry and enterprise, the au-
thor of these monthlies inherited the quail
tiles that ultimately commanded success
Inspired by touching example and expert
ence from the earliest recollectiOns, their
severe system of mental and physical ac-
tiyity had rooted itself into the very fbres
of thought and heart and life; and, though
success was always tempered with defeat,
the day of final triumph was never for a
moment doubtful.
His last hours were spent upon his es-
tate. Shannon Hill, Jefferson county, West
Virginia. On this historic spot the Tory
Fairfaxes lived and died, and within a
stones throw where old John Brown look
ed his last upon earth, and over these clas-
sic grounds the armies of Sheridan and
Custer swept, burning fences, barns and
houses and carrying off defenceless people.
He was imprisoned at Fort Delaware be-
cause his sons wore the gray. and after the
war he began life over again at sixty. Pluck
will beat fate ninety-six out of one hun
dred, and the close of life found him pros
porous and contented after the tragic, in
cessant, lifelong struggles dating away
back to 1906, As the life had been crowded
with vicissitudes the end was peaceful, and
he looked death in the face unfinchingly,
and on that beautiful Sunday, the young
aud old, black and white, civic and militia
~ of the grand old city of Winchester,
met us a mile away, and in martial step
and mouruful anthem led on the last dead
march to ETERNITY.
The early years of the author of this
Monthly were spent close by that sacred
spot and many the hour, sitting upon the

ishcd affections,-MY FATHER AND MY
